(Saionji) "Dear Sakurako Arimori,
in fact Tatsuhiko kun
sent me the piece you composed"
(Sakurako) Tatsuhiko san?
(Saionji) "I had a look at it
my honest impression was how much
a self-taught musician achieved
Tatsuhiko kun is worried about wasting
your talent from bottom of his heart
I feel the same
I still regret you had to
go back to your hometown"
(Masa) a letter from Saionji asking her to come to Tokyo
his words have had a strong impact on Sakurako's heart
Summer, 1940 (Momoko) Sakura chan, what did he say in professor Saionji's letter?
"why don't you come to Tokyo?"
I can't go as I have a job here
(Togo) Sakura chan, do you want to go to Tokyo?
no, I can't think of that any more
I see
if you want to go to Tokyo
you'd better say so
it's not what others think, but what you think
Sakura chan did you tell us the truth?
aye? you have no intention of going to Tokyo
ah... yep I am already half married into
"Yamacho" to those around me
it's not easy like before I see, not easy
(Fueko) Sakurako...
I have something to ask you what?
I want to know what Togo san is thinking
I'm wondering if he really wants to go to Tokyo
why don't you ask him yourself?
he is too concerned about me to tell me the truth
but he might to you
♬～
go to bed this will take a while
yep
♬～
well, do you think about Tokyo? un?
do you feel like going back there sometime?
not at all
♬～
these days, Togo often drew portraits
for townspeople to help household at Hiro's coffee shop
please don't move
and once every few months, an art dealer
from Tokyo visited Togo to look at his latest works
(Hirayama) well, they are all landscapes lately
there are only mountains and rivers around here
there are still those who buy the winner
of Independent part prize Togo Sugi's work
but recently there are many more young ones
entered to the market there are many original innovative works influenced by France
you used to paint
something outstanding
something exciting and powerful
I want to see paintings like that I see
please
(Hirayama) I heard you are expecting a baby, madam
yes
I see you are happy
(Fueko) how beautiful!
cute cloth are these all from aunt Iso?
yep we can make baby's thing from these
a padded garment, a short winter coat and baby covers
yep ah, well, Togo san!
which one do you think for a baby cover?
well, I like this one
but if it's a boy, probably not
(Fueko Momoko) yeah you choose
choose whatever you like

Togo san
♬～
do you want to go back to Tokyo?
♬～
tell me the truth
♬～
in a new town and big city like Tokyo
to give birth and raise a child
is impossible for Fueko
♬～
and then... if it doesn't involve onechn (older sister)?
♬～
I am happy in this house
but it seems happiness is a poison for artists
warm soil will cause root of mind to rot
♬～
(water)
onechan (older sister)
did you hear that? ...yep
as I thought he wants to go to Tokyo
when I think about a new baby and food situation
we are better off
being here than Tokyo don't you think so!?
that's true...
I want to stay here
I don't want to go to Tokyo leaving you and Momo chan behind!
(whistle)
(Momoko) well, this article is about the one who came here the other day?
"New Art Association formed"
ah! here's Yasuji san! onechan (older sister) Yasuji san
ah! that thief!
a thief... Yasuji san isn't a thief
he is a painter, just read it
Mr. Yasuji Hanaoka, as one of the war artists visited Wuhansanzhen (China)
took a brilliant active part
the invitation to join the association was turned down by Togo Sugi...
it mentions Togo san yep
"Mr. Yasuji Hanaoka talks about it
Togo Sugi hasn't produced anything brilliant
since he left Tokyo 2 years ago
renowned artist, but no longer active
we bring new blood..."
♬～
Togo san, what? anything?
why did you hide it? I didn't hide it...
♬～
(Togo) mnnn
he always talks big from before
♬～
ah, you are growing up!
when you were born, you are tiny and fuzzy hair
right your hair became nice and beautiful
(mother) I have to go, excuse me
(cicada)
well... is she the girl you delivered?
since I was arrested, it happens quite often
Momoko was having a hard time in Okazaki
(Iso) what did you want to talk about?
do you think I can make it in Tokyo? mn?
you mean you want to go to Tokyo?
I am a divorced woman and after that incident
I try not to make any more trouble to the family
and live a quiet life
but... I don't want to end up like this
I want to get use of the qualification of the midwife
I want to live my life helping others
don't worry I grantee it
you are so independent, Momo chan
and you are so beautiful!
you don't know that, do you?
